Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide, Kumar Apoorva. It would not have been the same without him. He accompanied us through hotels, trains, airports and local areas with decisiveness and humour. His experience eased our route around local beggars, merchants, customs, tipping and health issues. We visited very memorable and beautiful sites like the Taj Mahal and Shimla and many others, giving history and background and then letting us wander ourselves to take photos and absorb the atmosphere.
As travellers, we thought the hotels were ok but would have chosen ones that were more up-market. The food was nice but we feel, was pitched for the inexperienced or unadventurous palette, so we would have liked more varied local options.
All in all, a fabulous trip through beautiful parts of India, with a lovely group of people.
